Banded 7/21 down 58.6 as of today :cursing:

My surgery was 7/21 and as of this morning I have lost 54.8. First fill 9/2. Second fill was 10/7. I'm very happy with my band.

It was 6 weeks.

I added you on line 77. It was a blank line there because I messed it up a couple of weeks ago:( but anyways I didn't know to you need to click on your number hit the tab button and even though the other person info under yours is highlighted it will change only your info. I hope I didn't confuse you. I didn't know your starting weight for this challenge I used your starting weight from your profile minus how many pounds you lost on your ticker. Go in and make adjustments.

Thanks for your help.

Can someone please add me it's not letting me. I'm in for 15.

First fill was today, six weeks after surgery. On Clear liquids for 24 hours. Just having Water and broth. Not hungry at all, right now

Not sure what size band I have. Dr. said he put in 4cc.

Next fill 10/14.

I don't think it's too fast. I have lost 33.6 in 20 days.

I was banded 7/21 by Dr. Strom. As of this morning I have lost 32.6lbs. Best thing I ever did for me.

I am having the same problem. I have a follow up appointment on Monday and on Wednesday I have an appointment with my reg doc. I will let you know.

Baby food was just Cereal and one jar of peaches. It did not keep me filled for too long, that's whay it was only once with a 2oz serving. I drink Unjury 3 times a day. Part skim ricotta cheese, eggs, and Beans. I do get all the Protein in.

I did not puree any meats. I did puree tuna, cream of mushroom Soup and pea soup. I also pureed red Beans w/Progresso Tomato and Basil soup. I was able to have mashed taters and scrambled eggs. I also had some baby food.< /p>

Thanks everybody glad I am not alone with this burping.

I do feel hungry once in a while and I drink Water and feel better nothing too bad yet still have 9 days of puree left. Wonder what can go in the blender next.:party:

1- i barely drink the Protein shakes. ive tried 6 and they all make me gag horribly. the smell, the tast, just everything about it and i KNOW im supposed to have 70-80 grams a day.

2-i can drink a lot, fast. other people i notice sip drinks, i can finish a bottle of Water in about 3 gulps. im always thirsty and am always drinking.

3-i can eat a larger ammount than i thought i was supposed to be able to handle. for isntance, i can egg a whole boiled egg, a yogurt, and a 5 oz can of chicken (like the tuna) and finally feel full. im only on stage 2 (pureed foods) and am sure i should only be able to eat about 2-3oz but im soo hunger i eat more..til im full. so shouldn't i get full way before i finish all of that?

i was banded on 7/21 by the way.

anyone have some insight into this or had the same issues? feedback is def. appreciated. =]

Hi, we were banded the same day by the same Dr.

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or any from GNC?

Hi everybody. My name is Joyce I live in Newark, NJ and was banded and hital hernia repair 7/21 and stayed one night had to do test in the morning.

I had no pain after surgery but was very tired. Port site did not want to close so I was put on Amoxicillin w/Calavuante which gave me a very bad sore throat. Port site still not closing so they put me on Bactrim and now have hives. After three doses had to stop and the site is now healing.

I did the two week pre-op of clear, started a few days earlier. Post-op 5 days of clear, 3 weeks of puree. I can have 2oz for each of the 3 meals and 3 4oz protien shakes.

I had my gallblader removed in 6/87. Last year I was diagnoised with H. Pylori and Hep A. I got them from eating fish, which came from dirty Water. I can't get them or pass them to anyone.

As of this morning I have lost 30.8lbs.

I have two questions :

1. Is anybody burping alot?

2. Do you have a bad taste in your mouth that makes some food taste bad?

Hi everybody I was banded on 7/21. I'm down 27.6:thumbup: and I feel great. I also had a problem with the port incision healing it is closing up now. I did have to go to the er Saturday after surgery. He gave me an antibotic Amoxicilin (sp), which gave me a sore throat.

Doing well with making mushy's. I am so happy with my band.

Thank you I will be using them.

I did it 7/21. All went well no pain just very tired sleeping all day.

My surgery was on 7/21. No pain at all. I had a migrain which brought on nausea.

I can't log in. Is there a password?

I can't enter any info either.

I did this, just copied it into the cells so it will auto calculate so long as everyone puts their results in.

Thank you

Count me in I will be banded on 7/21. Gonna do 25.

I put formulas in the total lost column and current weight column so that it will add the the total weight lost and calculate the current weight. You can copy those formulas for your row if you want. I just didn't want to assume everyone would want it.

Could you do this for me. Not sure how this is done, not too good with this stuff. I already entered for today.

Thanks Joyce

My pre-op starts on the 7/7, band day is 7/21. Can't wait.

That's just what I would have done.
